</>As an illuminating star over comes petty shadows <br />so do I conquer worthless sloppy thoughts that rest at the pits of failure <br />The dogs are barking but I still listen only to my heart <br />Their doubtful mouths mean no more to me than <br />rotten banana peels resting at the feet of monkeys <br />Sharp corners I bump into at the cornerstones of glory are but wounds <br />I lick to health with a saliva that carries wisdom and determination <br />I squeeze the throats of snakes that carry venomous words of lies <br />A light switch has been turned on in the dawn of a fast paced world <br />where all the signs read only what their writers have written from their own illusions, <br />I only care to read the the signs of truth the signs of a God <br />that is not completely understood but whom is felt <br />You order me to clap my lights out but your no where near God <br />so I illuminate with a fierce ray that feels like the charisma of love and excellence<br /><br />Angelo Velasquez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/illuminating-star/
